 It was discovered that the YUREX USB device driver for the Linux kernel did
 not properly restrict user space reads or writes. A physically proximate
 attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or
 possibly execute arbitrary code.

Clean cherry-pick for Bionic, simple backport for Trusty only for
context adjustment.
